Inventory, production and total order volume components increased and remained in expansionary territory. Most manufacturing subsectors were also above the expansion threshold, including food and beverages, basic metals, rubber products and textiles.

Survey respondents expect the index to reach 52.37 in the fourth quarter. That figure is a survey expectation, not an observed result. PMI-BI is a composite indicator based on Bank Indonesia’s own business survey.
